Taisho Roman Revolution

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in an opera house.

You're wearing servant uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you?

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

[ . . . Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck

Highly stressed and vexed and going immediately pale when the location finally registers. Her fingers curl into the sides of her maid's skirt.

No, no no no no...]

[ Immediate concern. ]

Yuuki. . .?

[ Fangs gritting. ]

This is the same world as before.

[ Visibly trying to calm herself down. ]

Okami-san and I... after the opera house, we had another round.

[ She lost... a lot. ]

You've. . . when?

[ It's been quite a while since Okami left.

More importantly, he reaches to take her hands, but maybe it won't calm her. ]

Try and take a few breaths, okay? We need to collect ourselves.

Do you remember...when I lost my eyes? The other parts too...

[ A shaky breath. ]

That... I was wearing this same thing at that time.

Shit. . .

[ He remembers all too well. ]

Are there other similarities that you can tell?

[ oh ]

...What's wrong?

We've been here before.

But--

[ She's... trying hard to still her trembling. ]

It was different last time. It... my second run of it. It didn't go well.

[ this might be a bad time to mention this is also definitely not going to go well ]

I realize it's easier said than done, but try to keep it together. It's a different game now.

Sorry. I know. I know.

[ She's trying. ]

[some of us are blissfully unaware-

he just, hesitantly, puts a hand on her shoulder.]

[ She tenses and swallows thickly. ]

What... what a terrible personality our host has.

...Sit this one out and catch your breath. The rest of us will cover until you're ready to join us, alright?

[ Gritting her teeth. ]

No. No... that's not right, Shi-- Vergil-san.

[ She's tense, but she stands up. She has to be strong for him. ]

This is your first game. So I... so I need to take better control. I don't want you to be hurt after all.

It's fine, if anything it means I can handle it better. I'm not going to let you, so just sit down.

... Kagyua.

Sorry--

[ Give her a moment. She's trying really hard to swallow down the bile in her throat at the memories. ]

...

[well then, he gives her a moment]

I'll be okay. It's just... a bad memory.

Are you going to let it affect you?

Oh, is that why.

Hey, Kaguya, focus on us, okay? Can you hear what I'm saying?

[ Her fingers tighten into her skirts tighter. Right. Right. She needs to focus. She swallows tightly, and takes a breath... then another.

She has to keep it together. Vergil and Ao are both new. They'll panic if she panics. ]

I'm sorry. I--

I just. I recognize this place.

Would you rather talk about it or get distracted? I'll listen if you want.

[ this isn't a real smile either but. it's not so sharp as usual ]

We just didn't do so well last time.

With Shu we did spectacular. He...

[ Shaking her head. ]

He mastered everything and got this opera house for us. But a friend... he's no longer here anymore. We were forced into a different round and we-- well. We didn't come out in one piece.

[ Strained smile. ]

I don't really want to go through that again. Not any of you.

[ offers out a prosthetic arm ]

Is it okay if I hold your hand? I can feel it, I promise.
